A three-member parole board denied Kozlowski after a hearing held Wednesday, despite a clean disciplinary record and what the board called "progress and achievement" while incarcerated.

Kozlowski was informed of the decision Thursday.

"Your discretionary release, at this time," the decision said, would not be "compatible with the welfare of society at large, and would tend to deprecate the seriousness" of the offenses and "undermine respect for the law."
